So we started our way down into the bukid (jungle)...

That's super duper fun that the house boat trip is next week. I'm not

gonna lie, I'm super jealous, but I did get to do a bit of wading a

couple days ago in the baptismal font, so I guess we can call it even.

You get to play at the lake all week long, and I get to help some

people qualify for the celestial kingdom. It was super neat. I was

able to baptize Brother and Sister Barone last Saturday, and the best

part is that I didn't even have to change my garments afterwards,

because they weren't even wet. hahaha. It was super convenient.

Yesterday they were confirmed and are official members of the Church.

WOO! Sister B was really worried about having to give a talk in church,

and was all like, "Maybe I'll just go less-active so I don't have to

do it." haha She was just joking of course... at least I hope so! 

Another miracle that happened last week happened that was super

awesome. We were wanting to teach an investigator who has a house in

Mabini, right next to our house, and also in Iraan, which is a 7

minute shuttle ride away. He wasn't at home in Mabini, so we went to

Iraan. The thing is we had never been to his house in Iraan, and

addresses aren't really popular here on Palawan. You can tell because

no one has one. The most specific you can get is which Barangay. haha

Anywho, In Iraan, there are 3 main roads. He had told us which road he

was on, but that's all. So we started our way down the way into the

bukid (jungle). Along the way there are lots of little trails that

branch off, and after about 15 minutes of walking down the road, we

felt inspired to turn left onto one of these little trails into the

trees. Along the path was a little power line, so we said "well, that

has to lead somewhere. We walked another good 10-15 minutes and came

across a little bamboo hut with lots of dogs that started barking at

us. We decided to approach anyways despite the dogs, and it turns out

that it was Alfred’s house. What the?! His sister answered the door and

who is a member and asked how we knew where they lived, and we just

said, "ang Espiritu Santo" (The Holy Ghost). It was super amazing. The

only bummer of the story is that Alfred wasn't home there either.

hahaha It was still a super neat experience though, and now we know

where he lives, so that's good! hahaha So yeah. The church is true!

A few days ago I was doing my personal study to some nut-cracker music

going in the background. It was really nice. :) I just remember

studying in Makati to Highway to Hell. Things are a lot different

here. haha.

I had another great week. I wish I could share more but it's not

possible due to the difficulty of typing these words onto the

internet, but I do have a more complete account of my doings written

in my other journal. For I know that someday the internet will die and

everything saved here must perish, but the things written in my

journal must never perish, wherefore if ye desire a more complete

account, read my journal. haha

Mahal ko kayo!!!!!

Elder Fawson is out. Peace!
